Hey Peter, maybe this will be a good answer for you! Looks like a really nice machine. Just wonder how much they are selling for. I still think that there is a good market out there for a combination washer/dryer. | ||

DAEWOO
I called the headquarters and spoke to Ms.Chris Howard.These are manufactured in Korea by Daewoo!!!! They are 120 volts and condenser type drying.The door is reversable(why I don't know. if you have one of these why would it need a reversable door?)and no venting needed.It is not available yet though you are able to order them if you want.She said she couldn't give me a price quote but any of their dealers can.

Crosley!
First of all does anyone know the history of Daewoo reliabality? And unless I can get service I won't touch it. I still think the combo model looks like a samsung and the regular washers look like LG. I could be wrong of course. I would never want to have another LG experience and I don't wish it on anyone. I don't want to get my hopes up but maybe it's a possibility. Thanks for the information. Peter | ||

L.G is not the only direct drive washer.The original top of the line Samsungs were direct drive and there are a few others including Sharp and Sanyo.I doubt seriously if L.G would have the desire to make a washer with a reverseable door and not have that feature available on their own brand and models.Now,they may look a bit alike but remember,they're both made in Korea.They may be using the same suppliers for select parts like the door frame,wash tubs and electronic controls.I'd have to take them apart and see the inside to be able to tell.But they do not look even close to an L.G to me.I don't even see the little trap door for the pump protector does anybody else see it?am I missing something?

Yes pete,I saw that too but other features like the reverseable door would have been a serious promo feature on the L.G.s.I seriously doubt they would allow any of their engineers to make that feature exclusively for a competitor.I believe that there are parts manufactureres that make them for numerous brands made overseas and do not design them differently per brand.Just like the small and large doors on the front loaders.They might look identical to the L.G.but are probably made in massive amounts for different brands not made by L.G.Does that make any sense?For example,the door on the Hotpoint(U.K)is identical to the one on a Sanyo.They both have the cotrols on them but,the Sanyo door opens down on their combo model shown at the last KBIS.The Hotpoint opens to the side.The Sanyo is direct drive,the hotpoint is belt driven.The Sanyo is made in China,The Hotpoint is made in Spain.Why then do they look alike?

Daewoo in the U.S.
The washer sites on that search are U.K. and elsewhere. The site I found for Daewoo Electronics America, Inc. lists microwaves, refrigerators, and window air conditioners, no washers. Maybe they don't market washers in the U.S. under the "native" label? P.C. Richard doesn't carry any, their alphabetic brand line-up jumps from Avanti to Eurotech.

The reversible door feature rocks!
$2000 for the combo unit - that's a bit much. But I wonder how much the washer-only models (same capacity) cost? If I were in the market for a new front loader, I'd seriously consider the Crosley, becuase of the reversible door. The only other big front loader that would work in my laundry closet would be the Miele 48xx, which has a right-hinged door. However, the depth - 31.9 inches - would be a drawback. I'd have to permanently remove the bifold doors for the laundry closet. Of course, these units are good looking enough that wouldn't be a big deal, and more often than not the bifold doors get in the way. But sometimes it's nice to be able to close off the laundry area and hide it from view (it's right in the middle of the house, just off the kitchen). At first glance it appeared to me that these were similar to the Samsung line. But the dial does look a bit like an Affinity. My only exposure to Daewoo has been a big CNC lathe a friend has in his shop. It seems like a good machine. The only problem he's had with it was when an inexperienced helper crashed the tool turret into the spinning chuck. Put the thing out of alignment for a couple of months. | ||
